Episode 17: The Care and Feeding of your New Wife

This week we read the clever and thought-provoking piece, All the Mermaid Wives by Gwendolyn Kiste. It's an amazing tale that effectively combines the feel of a 1950s classroom filmstrip with a modern, twisted mermaid story. On this important election day, this piece will have you reflecting on the nature of freedom, gender, power, oppression, and the damaging effects of forced assimilation. Not bad themes to have on your mind as you head to the polls. We love you... but we'll love you more if you vote!
